I'm An Efficient, Good, Professional Reporter. But I Also Write. And So What I Try To Do Is Write About Places That I Know That I Care About Intensely And Write About Them In A Way That Conveys The Fact That I Care.

And, Of Course, Millions Of Us Cross The Border To Work In Us Homes And Gardens And Factories And Carpentry Shops And Restaurants, And If You Go To A Restaurant Pretty Much Anywhere In The United States, The Chances Are That The Dishes Will Be Washed By A Mexican.

I May Not Have A Practical Mind, But It's Very Fixated On Concrete Things. I Like Detail.
